29 Aug 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	Hi Mohamed, I'm actually not sure how Zemax normalizes the ZBF files... For my application, I just wanted a relative map, so the absolute power wasn't what I was after. Let me know if you figure out more about the normalization...sorry I'm not any help. -Sean
02 Aug 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	Weird...maybe GNUMex is broken for Windows 7. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll keep it in mind for the future. Post your native Matlab solution? :) Or does work not allow that...
29 Jul 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	Did installing MinGW and GNUMex work for you? Once those are installed, starting Matlab, changing into the directory where the code is, and typing "mex read_zbf_mex.c" should compile the code. Is that step failing even with MinGW and GNUMex installed?
29 Jul 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	(Oh, I do think it could be rewritten in native Matlab. I was trying to minimally change an existing c-code, so that's why I went with mex.)
21 Oct 2010	Structure Cut Utility function that applies the same cut to specified elements of a structure. Author: Sean Bryan	So, that occurred to me too, but then the structure gets passed around a lot. Plus, recursive functions might be as scary as eval, because of the looping potential there. I guess it's just a matter of taste either way. Fee free to write recursive_struct_cut.m and post it too!

28 Aug 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	Mohamed	Dear Sean Bryan thanks for the file but I found that there is a difference in the power obtained from this file and when zbf is opened in beam file viwer inside Zemax Do you have reason for this

30 Jul 2011	Read ZEMAX Beam File (ZBF) Reads a ZEMAX Beam File into Matlab, allowing presentation of physical optics simulation results. Author: Sean Bryan	Brodsky, Alexander	thanks for replying. I needed this solution for my work. After all we solved this problem in native MATLAB by using description from ZEMAX support of ZBF file structure. We made it with only using binary file functions. I use WIN 7 and after installation of MinGW and GNUMex the line mex read_zbf_mex.c didn't work. Also mex -setup doesn't recognize this compiler.

21 Oct 2010	Structure Cut Utility function that applies the same cut to specified elements of a structure.	Oleg Komarov	Assuming that you can use recursion infinitely, the concept is that you can call a function and the same function can call itself till it reaches the deepest level. Suppose we have the struct "s" (as created above), then this hypothetical recursive function will apply the cut to the deepest level. function struct = recursiveScut(struct, idx) fnames = fieldnames(struct) if isstruct(sstruct.(fnames{1})) % Jump to the next depth level struct = recursiveScut(sstruct.(fnames{1}),idx) else % Apply cut s.(fnames{1})(...idx...) end end The script above is really just an example.

20 Oct 2010	Structure Cut Utility function that applies the same cut to specified elements of a structure.	Sean Bryan	Is there a way to recursively create a command, and then evaluate whatever you've created? I thought that was what eval was for actually...	Comment only
20 Oct 2010	Structure Cut Utility function that applies the same cut to specified elements of a structure.	Oleg Komarov	There is recursion and eval is not the solution.	Comment only
19 Oct 2010	Structure Cut Utility function that applies the same cut to specified elements of a structure.	Sean Bryan	Right, so the code constructs a string that has that syntax, and "eval" evaluates it. To do this without eval, I would have needed lots of if statements. If the number of dots in the input string is 1, then run the hardcoded s.(sub). If the number of dots is 2, then run hardcoded s.(sub).(subsub), etc. Then if someone put in an input string with more dots than I hardcoded, the code wouldn't work.	Comment only
